New Czech pastry shop now open in San Marcos
Vanessa Kolacny made traditional Czech kolaches for the first time eight years ago, but has now chosen to take a leap of faith and begin baking full-time. Her business, Kolacny’s Kolaches, can be found at 801 Chestnut St. in San Marcos.

SAN MARCOS — In an effort to believe in herself and connect with her heritage, Vanessa Kolacny’s kolache business will open its storefront June 6.

Kolacny has lived in Wimberley for eight years, but before her life in the small town, her memories were filled with the flavor of her favorite treat — kolaches — from her grandmother and music from her grandfather’s accordion.

Wanting to feel connected once more with her Czech grandparents, she set out to teach herself to make traditional kolaches that first Christmas in Wimberley, using the same recipe that encompassed her childhood.
